About Stanisław Radkiewicz

  • Stanislaw Radkiewicz (Polish pronunciation: [sta'?iswaf rat'k?evit??]; 19 January 1903 – 13 December 1987) was a Polish communist activist with Soviet citizenship, a member of the pre-war Communist Party of Poland and of the post-war Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR).
  • As head of the Polish communist secret police (Urzad Bezpieczenstwa or UB) between 1944 and 1954, he was one of the chief organisers of Stalinist terror in Poland.
  • He also served as a political commissar and was made a Divisional General in Communist Poland. Unlike some other individuals responsible for the Stalinist terror in the 1940s and 1950s, Radkiewicz was never held responsible for his crimes, although in 1956, after the Poznan protests and his official "self-critique", he was removed from his post as Minister of Public Security and made Minister of State Agricultural Farms (PGRs).
